RE: Finally rear carb AND rear exhaust!

Yeah capt is off base as there isnt any planes for this engine. its his opinion though. I am very glad they made this engine. now if they can take this engine and increase the stroke some then have a 40CC engine for the same weight and size......... it will still fit in any plane for a 20-30cc engine. i dont know why they made the twin a 60 though and not put the 35CC cylinders on it or maybe its marketing and they will in a year.. Hint hint hint.....

Capt,n here.....I was going by the balance opinion what everyone is harping about. They allkeep saying War-Birds need a engine that is heavy enough so dead weight does not need to be added to get the balance right. If I was going to to a War bird....I would pick one that a G62 Zenoah ''Lite'' engine, built like the engine Ralph of RC Ignition has done. That G62 will fit in a 70 inch yak that was kitted by Carl Goldberg. A friend had one with the G62(standard) and the only thing he changed was he doubled the fire-wall. It would fly strait up out of site and he could do any aerobatic trick you could think of. That was years ago. Get a real quality engine....forget the china made cheapies. I gotone 30cc DLE....but all my other engines are not china made and it is going to stay that way.

Sure that 35cc may fit in anything....but is a Warbird going to balance with it?

So you are here to just hate on the DLE engines???? Your post has no added value???

Well that is your opinion...DLE and the other china made engines are too lite made for balance on a lot of war-birds, iswhat I am saying. What added value can you give? Your turn.

This is the what i was refering to. you sound like one of those guys that come in to JR/Spektrum thread and say how good futaba is and never by JR/Spektrum Junk. ITS your Opinion.

i agree some warbirds need more nose weight but i try to move all the equipment in the plane first then add weight if needed. I dont like to add dead weight to a plane. i know those Zenoah engines are reliable and last for ever but they are heavy still. if i was going to put a bigger engine in a plane to help balance i wouldnt pick the 62 as my choice it woul be a DA 85 if a two stroke. but there are many options for "heavy" engines that would be better on a warbird for sure like many of the 50cc four Strokes.

DLE engines are great and and any gas two stroke I buy will be DLE if they have the size I need!
